Someone has commented to me on my #14 caption that no one (even on this august site) is going to look up the reference to some crazy name of an obscure star in the constellation of Capricorn in order to understand what my caption means so here is a URL which has most of the background one needs to appreciate it: http://www.constellationsofwords.com/star/DenebAlgedi.html and the executive summary goes like this: 'This star marks the approximate position of the discovery of the Planet Neptune on September 23, 1846 by German astronomer Johann Galle.' The man is reaching up to affix a Light Emitting Diode as a representation of that star on the "tail of the goat" he has suspended in the sky to commemorate the discovery of Neptune just prior to the anniversary of that discovery. Capricorn is the Goat/Fish constellation, thus my caption #14: "This LED represents Deneb Algiedi.," says the man in explanation to the goat( the reluctant representative of the constellation Capricorn) who, of course, has no interest in the history of the discovery of Neptune. I had hoped someone else would have put all this together from the star name, but since that did not seem to be happening I am reduced to painful explicitness. -thewildotter

They're going to need to hand a LOT more goats to get it looging as good as this:
